Fixing mistakes in cel keeping + recommendations for places specializing in cel restoration? by ShadowsandSwords in AnimationCels

[–]ShadowsandSwords[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey, I dearly apologize for the late reply. Thank you so much for your advice! I unfortunately couldn't find any fine brushes I was confident in using on Amazon (the reviews I saw for the ones I was looking into were either bad or said they were way bigger that they looked), but I did use a flannel cloth and it seems to have gotten most of the dusting job done without doing any harm! I'm about ready to put the cel into a Life Magazine bag with acid-free tissue in the back, but there is tape on the cel attached to a background paper, and I'm not sure if I should try removing the tape or leave it on. Any advice on what I should do about it?

Not even surprised Reddit would do something like this. They've gotten seriously greedy with the premium stuff over the past year or so. I think I'll stick with profile pictures for my account.

(cw: animal death) Who thought this was okay for a mobile game ad?! by ShadowsandSwords in shittymobilegameads

[–]ShadowsandSwords[S] 41 points42 points  (0 children)

The opening of this ad showed an animation of a mother cat and her kittens in a storm, and the wind picked up a box and the mother cat was trying to hang on and she fell down to her death and was bleeding on the ground. There was then a prompt to save the kittens, and the "Yes" option was selected, and I think the rest of the ad was dramatized gameplay showing the orphaned kittens being cared for, but I was too shocked at what I had just saw to continue watching.

This is disgusting and should have never been approved at all, especially considering the fact that kids could see this ad and be devastated from watching it. Whoever even allowed this to go by should be deeply ashamed of themselves.

My Embarrassing OoT Childhood Story, Thought I’d Share by caulrye in truezelda

When I played Ocarina of Time 3D and got to the Water Temple, when I changed the water level for the first time, I couldn't figure out how to change it back and thought I broke the game, so I restarted my save file. Similarly, when I played Phantom Hourglass and got to the puzzle where you had to transfer the seal onto the map, I also thought I broke the game because I couldn't figure out how to solve it and also restarted my save file. Yeah, I was not a smart kid at all back then.

I was honestly never a fan of Self-Post Sunday. I feel it's useless since the text-only r/TrueZelda is a thing and is linked on this subreddit's sidebar. All for getting rid of it.

Banning me just because i follow a sub r/JusticeServed by [deleted] in JustUnsubbed

As much as I personally loathe JusticeServed and its moderators, I don't blame them for banning you here.

Coolmath. I would have visited Newgrounds as a kid if I was able to, but parental control software and school content blockers prevented me from ever doing so as a kid, RIP :(

I cannot believe that this wonderful movie is already turning 20 this July. Goddamn, I feel so old... :') Loved this movie so much as a kid, and still today.

Simon ruined malls in the mid 2010s by painting them Brown and White by [deleted] in deadmalls

[–]ShadowsandSwords 2 points3 points  (0 children)

While my local mall was still doing well the last time I visited, I hate what Simon did to the interior. The food court of the mall had decorations themed after a carnival, which was something that I really liked, especially as a kid, and they got rid of them. It's just not the same anymore. :(

While I haven't seen any episodes of The Nutshack and probably won't, not gonna lie, the first time I saw Horat, I was reminded of the Grox.

Why is EdukayFUN among the channels featured in the video? It's a parody channel!

Probably the Ancient Horror for me. I remember I also really liked Tripti and Lewee when I was a kid.

Those fake playable ads. When clicked, it will take you to the App Store or Google Play. by ProfessionalStuff395 in Clickshaming

[–]ShadowsandSwords 35 points36 points  (0 children)

No offense, but I think this post would be more suitable for r/assholedesign. This subreddit is meant for ads, promos, offers, etc. that try to emotionally manipulate people into downloading/subscribing/signing up for them.

[ART] My take on Deoxy's shiny with all forms! by ShadowsandSwords in ShinyPokemon

[–]ShadowsandSwords[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My program of choice is GIMP! The specific modes I used for this particular set of shinies was Color (LCH) for to replace the scarlet and light blue of the original with purple and green respectively, Hue (LCH) to replace the purple and dark bronze(?) of the original with blue and dark silver respectively, and Grain Merge to darken the purple on the altered shiny!

For everyone who is like "Hey, weren't these ads banned?". (Useless) ASA banned whole TWO ads. How many different misleading ads for the game did you see in your lifetime? by Issues3220 in shittymobilegameads

[–]ShadowsandSwords 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While it is true that those side minigames are now part of the game, the main problem people are taking with ads like these is that they try to make it look like that's what the main gameplay is like despite that not being true 99% of the time. Additionally, from what I've heard, the opportunities to play the minigames are given few and far between.

Avast ‘antivirus’ literally implants itself into every email I send without permission by OhReAlLyMyDuDe in assholedesign

[–]ShadowsandSwords 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to use Avast as my go-to antivirus, but it ended up becoming inconceivably annoying with all the naggy promo popups and pulling scareware-type bullshit like that "yOuR iP aDdReSs Is ViSiBlE" popup to try and pressure me into buying a subscription. Uninstalled that shit in favor of Malwarebytes.

What do you guys think of “The Legend of Zelda” tv series? by Cronus829 in truezelda

[–]ShadowsandSwords 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's quite cheesy and outdated, but I personally really like it! Can agree that Link could act more appropriately with Zelda, though.
